Hey guys,
I have heard a couple of people in this thread hint at the law allowing them to carry openly on their own property. Out of pure ignorance I must ask, is it actually legal to openly carry a firearm on your property?? My yard belongs to me, but I find it difficult to believe that if my 1911 was holstered to my side that the kids on the sidewalk would not have their daddy call the police or at least cause some reason for concern. I could be wrong and already admitted ignorance......so teach me fellas! Thank you.

I agree with everyone that has claimed Pro-Choice!!
I can see where open carry would create a distraction in the mall or grocery store. I think concealed is a better practice because it does not allow an agressor to plan an attack to disarm you. The element of surprise when someone sees the handgun is priceless.....kind of like the mastercard commercial.
However, when I am on my private property in Centerville.....you bet I carry openly!! I am concerned about the bad guys with fangs! If anyone shows up out there to surprise me....I am sure they would not (nor do I care if they are) offended or surprised by my carrying.
